Temporary closure of Perth Mill Road level crossing
Due to essential infrastructure works the level crossing at Perth Mill Road, will be temporarily closed for three days.
The Australian and Tasmanian Governments contributed a total of $6 million to the project, with a further $6 million invested through a unique collaboration by the Toll Group, TasPorts and TasRail. The end result is a modern, efficient, safe and expanded rail terminal, complete with a new hardstand and freight storage facilities. The project has also reduced vehicle congestion and vastly improves train handling, loading/unloading activities.
TasRail currently rails 68 per cent of contestable freight on the major Burnie to Brighton corridor, and CEO Damien White says the new rail terminal at the Port of Burnie augers well for TasRail securing an even greater market share.
